Orthodontic Treatment Options

Choosing to start orthodontic treatment is more than just straightening teeth—it’s a journey toward greater confidence, comfort, and self-expression. We understand that behind every smile is a story, and our goal is to help you feel proud of yours.

From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel supported, heard, and cared for.

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are more than just a treatment—they’re the start of a transformation that reaches far beyond your smile. With every small adjustment, they quietly build something bigger: confidence, courage, and the freedom to fully express yourself. Today’s metal braces are sleek, comfortable, and incredibly effective, but what truly makes them special is the journey they represent. Whether you’re beginning this path for yourself or helping your child take the first step, metal braces mark the beginning of a new chapter—one where hiding your smile becomes a thing of the past, and self-doubt is replaced by pride. Because behind every smile in progress is a story worth celebrating.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear ceramic braces offer a gentle way to improve your smile while keeping the focus on you. At Shasta Orthodontics, our clear ceramic braces offer the perfect blend of subtlety and strength—so you can feel confident throughout your journey. This gentle, effective treatment is a great choice for anyone who wants to improve their smile without the look of traditional metal braces. Whether it’s for a teen just beginning their smile story or an adult finally doing something for themselves, our warm and supportive team is here to help you take that exciting first step.

Early Orthodontic Treatment (Phase 1)

Early orthodontic treatment, or Phase 1, is about more than just guiding teeth—it’s about giving your child the best possible start to a healthy, confident smile. Starting treatment early allows us to gently guide jaw growth, create space for incoming teeth, and prevent bigger challenges later on. At Shasta Orthodontics, we understand how meaningful these early steps are, and we’re here to support both you and your child with care, compassion, and expert guidance every step of the way.

Teen Orthodontics

The teen years are a big time for growth, change, and smiles. Orthodontic treatment during this time isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s about helping teens feel proud to smile, laugh, and speak without hesitation. At Shasta Orthodontics, we know how important this stage of life is, and we’re here to support your teen with care that’s both effective and empowering. Our goal is to make them feel comfortable, confident, and seen—because every teen deserves to love the smile they’re growing into.

Adult Orthodontics

Choosing orthodontic treatment as an adult is a powerful act of self-care—one that goes far beyond straightening teeth. It’s about showing up for yourself, feeling confident in your smile, and embracing the version of you that you’ve always wanted the world to see. Whether you’ve waited years to begin or you’re ready to refresh a smile that’s changed over time, it’s never too late to start. At Shasta Orthodontics, we’re here to make the journey comfortable, supportive, and truly life-changing—because your smile deserves to reflect the strength, confidence, and beauty you carry every day.

Retainers

Congratulations—your braces are off and your beautiful new smile is here! This is a huge milestone, and we’re so proud to have been part of your journey. As you enjoy your new smile, the next important step is keeping it just the way you love it—with a retainer. Retainers help maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment by holding your teeth in their new positions. At Shasta Orthodontics, we’ll guide you through how to wear and care for your retainer so your smile stays healthy, strong, and confident for years to come. You’ve come so far—now let’s keep that smile shining!
